Lombok, Sister Island of Bali

September 20, 2010 / dwix / No comments

“Lombok, Sister Island of Bali”
If not mistaken, that sounds a slogan I have ever seen when it passed a billboard.

Island with an area reaches 5435 km ² located east of the island is said to have pinned appendage of the world’s best island. Anyone try the Bali tau ga? The island has always been a tourist destination of world and domestic tourists.

In addition to this slogan that I mentioned first in the early writings, there is another slogan I ever heard when I first set foot on earth gora (another term for the island of Lombok), namely “You can see Bali in Lombok, but you Can not see Lombok in Bali.

Why be like that? It sounds a little (or too?) Bombastic. But there is more or less true. For example: there are many people in Lombok from Bali, making it very easy to find with the cultural life of Bali in Lombok. Pura, prayer and culture when someone dies Ngaben world a common sight could be witnessed in Lombok.

Not to mention if you talk to a tourist attraction. Bali’s famous Kuta beach to every corner of the earth may not be comparable with Kuta Beach Lombok tenarnya. Although if you speak a panorama of beauty and keasriannya, from the testimony of several friends who had visited both these objects, nearly all states that are more beautiful Lombok Kuta Beach. Okey, maybe somewhat objective, but please prove it if you do not believe it. :)

In terms of promotion, support facilities, organization, infrastructure, human resources can I make sure that the island of Lombok “not nothing” compared with the Bali Tourism Office, where local government is truly manage tourism.

Lombok is still very far behind in terms of the Balinese. That is why the amount of domestic and foreign tourists in Bali must be higher than on Lombok.

Supporting facilities and infrastructure conditions to the attractions in Garut regency still deplorable. Government’s commitment in Garut Regency who want to develop tourism is questionable. The bad condition of the road to places at least look at the road to Park Village Cikembulan Cikembulan Wildlife, District Kadungora, as seen on Thursday (16/09/2010). Wildlife along the road to the park approximately 2.5 miles from Highway Kadungora was narrow and damaged. Asphalt surface peeling off and change a lot of ground.

Condition of the entrance to the wildlife park of attractions Cangkuang Temple was the same. Hole because the course of the asphalt layer is not there. If the dry and dusty roads in the rain, muddy roads. In addition, approximately two miles along the road that was barely passable road from the opposite direction if the two passed each other.

Cikembulan Wildlife Park Manager, Rudi Arifin said the condition of the road into the devastated wildlife park visitors often complain about. Because of the narrow road and damaged, sometimes the prospective tourists who will visit the wildlife park with a large bus to cancel his visit.

Rudi questioned the commitment of Garut Regent Aceng Fikri, who was inaugurated in November 2009 animal parks, commit to improve the entrance to the wildlife park. ‘Once when the opening of wildlife park, the mayor has never said that repairs of this road to the park wildlife is a priority. But, until now there has been no realization, he said.

In fact, the existence of wildlife park which now has 517 animals of 113 species of fish were able to absorb labor around the Village Cikembulan. Wildlife park employees numbering 30 people will be increased by about 12 people on holidays, such as Idul Fitri holidays and school holidays.

In addition, local governments also get income from entrance tickets sold. “Garden of animals involved it the name of Garut. On holidays, the number of visitors to the park animals can reach 5,000 people a day. But, until now the local government support is still not optimal,” says Rudi who just add to the collection of animals such as bears a pair of Wildlife Rescue Center Cikananga, Sukabumi.

Siger Tower

September 15, 2010 / dwix / No comments

The other thing that is not less interesting when visiting the tower siger, at the tower which was inaugurated governor of Lampung Sjahchroedin ZP also was listed for zero marker information and the distances to other regions, both in Sumatra and Java. From this place, for example, we can know that the distance Bakauheni to Banda Aceh reached 2652 kilometers.

From the information board on the second floor in this tower we also know that the distance-Jakarta Bakauheni’re not very far, just 117 km away. This distance is not far from Jakarta, Bandung.

To get into the tower area Siger, visitors are not charged formally Rp 5000 per motor or Rp 10,000 for the car. To be more entered the building, visitors are subjected to more cost Rp 1000 per person. The tower is also equipped with a range of information about tourism in Lampung.

From the tower with a height of 110 meters above sea level that we could see the coastal scenery of Merak, Banten. The reason is, distance-Bakauheni Peacock only 27 km away. However, both the Peacock and Java can only be seen if the weather was sunny.

At the top of this hill we can daydream to imagine if the Sunda Strait Bridge (JSS) will be awakened. From this point will be seen throughout a series of bridges linking the two most populous island in Indonesia.

M Husnul Arif (18th), visitors to the center of origin of Central Lampung enjoy the atmosphere at the Tower of Siger, had the impression that its own development plan related to this JSS. According to him, logically, the idea of making a bridge along the 29 km is very difficult to materialize.

“I have found some information from the internet, to make this JSS is logically impossible. At the bottom of the Sunda Strait that’s often been a shift of the earth plates. Imagine the consequences if there is a bridge on it,” said high school students of class III is to express an opinion about JSS .

Nevertheless, he still hoped the community dream of Sumatra and Lampung, in particular to JSS could really happen. The community is no longer just imagine it from the Tower Siger.
